  1. French Automatic Weather Station Jean-Baptiste Cohuet, Météo France 8th VOS TAG, Genova, Italy 30-31 March 2011

  2. Synopsis • French Automatic Weather Stations • Evolutions in Batos AWS • Plans for the future

  3. 1. French Automatic Weather Stations BATOS : • Parameters : Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, Wind, Sea surface temperature, Manned observations (visibility, clouds,waves…), Salinity (only on 1 VOS) • Inmarsat Transmission • 58 VOS MINOS : • Parameters : Pressure, Temperature • Argos Transmission • 7 VOS

  4. 1. French Automatic Weather Stations French Batos fleet : 58 Batos Oversea 4 Batos : French Polynesia 3 Batos : Reunion Island 1 Batos : New Caledonia Le Havre: 8 Batos Caen : 5 Batos Brest : 16 Batos Nantes : 2 Batos Bordeaux : 2 Batos Aix : 17 Batos

  5. 1. French Automatic Weather Stations Coordination of the maintenance of E-Surfmar Batos Fleet (10 VOS) Irena Arctica Mary Arctica Nuka Arctica (2010) Naja Arctica (2010) Toronto Express Montreal Express Celtic Explorer Celtic Voyager (2011) + 3 ship to find, Installations planned in 2011, 2012 Mississauga Express RV Urania (2011)

  6. 2. French AWS Recent Evolution on Batos AWS: Wind sensor : Tests in an air tunnel GILL WMT52 CV3F YOUNG Humidity sensor Rotronic S3CO3 Vaisala HMP110 (10 VOS equiped) (in test)

  7. 2. French AWS Recent Evolution on Batos AWS: Salinity : SolOceans Project Sport & Science Iridium transmission Developed with Batos 4.3 Some problems with 9601-DG modem

  8. 2. French AWS Recent Evolution on Batos Software: Corrections • Problem on barometer height • Problem on IMMT3 files • Observation statement sending Improvements • Password • Help file • Iridium • Configuration • Graphic Display

  9. 3. Plans for the future On BATOS AWS • No new installation of Batos AWS for Météo France network, only for E-Surfmar • Substitute CV3F and Young wind sensors by WMT52 • Finish Iridium development using 9602-LP modem. It will allow to use the new format to encode more complete BUFR. A new AWS for Météo France : PACOME • A general architecture (land stations, isolated places, airports, ships, buoys…) with specificities for the ships. • Météo France is in a tendering procedure • Available for tests in 2013
